Heated Pool, Splash Pad & Pickleball — 18 Guests

Summary:

Bradenton's LARGEST private vacation rental splash pad — and that's just the backyard opener.



Step into a 15' x 30' splash zone with 16 interactive ground jets, color-changing LED lights, a mushroom waterfall, a rainy palm tree water feature, and a pair of oversized dumping buckets. Right next to it: a heated saltwater pool, a full-size pickleball court, and 3-hole mini-putt golf — all yours, all private, no sharing.



Still outside: a gas fire pit, a giant playground with 2 slides, ax throwing, and a covered patio with a 65" TV for poolside movie nights. Head inside to the air-conditioned game room with 3 arcades, a pool table, and air hockey. Five bedrooms sleep 18 comfortably — 4 kings plus a bunk room — with a spa-like master suite featuring a jetted soaking tub and steam shower.



Anna Maria Island beaches: 10 minutes.

This property is amazing! Great backyard activities for all ages! Our grandkids ages 4-14 especially loved the pickle ball court & of course the beautiful and warm pool! The adults also enjoyed the fire pit in the evenings after a long day!! And then have the most comfy beds too! I would highly recommend this property & hope to return in the future.

Unforgettable stay at this home away from home. Every amenity you could wish for with outdoor activities and indoor game room the kids never were bored! What a masterpiece inside and out, heated pool outdoor tv, pickleball, swing set with climbing structure, mini put put and more with game room inside. We could go on and on about this place! Wow wow wow. Minutes from beaches. Hosts go above and beyond to make the stay wonderful. We were sad to leave and can’t wait to return for many more vacations to come!!
